They are expensive but road armor and buck stop make winch bumpers

I am a big fan of road armor. I also like the looks of a ranch hand but i dont know if they have ones for winches.

buckstop.biz a lot stronger than road armor... sorry guys but it is true. You get what you pay for and it is worth the price.

Damn those are expensive, I want one that doesnt have the grille guard part like the baja version of the buckstop bumper. Just not willing to pay almost 2K for it.

Bumpers are pretty crazy in price in the aftermarket, not mention every model for fullsizes weighs 200+lbs and sticks out 18"'s or more. Im building my own, but I had a Reunel on my 97 back before January. Other than the weight and terrible aproach angle it held up to a lot of abuse.

thats what ive decided on, a reunel with the light holes and diamondplate top. they will fit the new warn powerplant winch. in 2 weeks im ordering it but there is a 8 week wait.
